Narrative:

I was assigned job and was lubing flap roller lube per step 7 of job card. I was using the electric man lift to reach the flap roller fittings on the left wing second inboard flap fairing. This was the third flap roller I was working on. As I was positioning the lift; the battery charge was getting low and slow responding to commands. The lift moved erratically and it contacted the flap fairing and made a minor dent 1 inch X 3/4 inch. Per maintenance manual 57-55-11 the area was temporarily repaired and deferred for permanent repair.
